this is just stunning- i would love to make this pattern. i really love the lace up back, which matches fabric choice brilliantly. maybe you could design patterns while waiting for the next step whatever that happens to be?

This is beautiful, and a great first garment! I never went to fashion school so don’t know what kind of thing they look for in applicants, but don’t give up, you’ve got talent. I guess there can be a lot of competition for some places so the selection process is tough. But there are always other places to apply for and there’s always next year – giving you a whole year to gain more experience. Maybe you can get some useful tips from others here who’ve studied fashion to figure out what they look for in a portfolio :-)

I was kind of down about it for a while, but after uploading my projects and getting a good response, and reading this comment I feel better! I’m definitely going to try it, and also just keep sewing :]
